OLYMPIA, Wash. —
Transportation offi cials in Ore-
gon and Washington state have
a message for the region’s driv-
ers: However bad you think
traffi c is going to be during
next week’s total solar eclipse,
it’s probably going to be worse
than you imagine.
While just a 60-to-70 mile
wide swath of central Ore-
gon is within the path of total-
ity next Monday, Washing-
ton state and Oregon offi cials
say that signifi cant backups
are expected throughout both
states both before and after the
short event ends, with poten-
tially hundreds of thousands of
people clogging the roadways
as they try to drive home or
head to airports.
“This is the biggest trans-
portation event that has ever hit
Oregon,” said Dave Thompson,
a spokesman for the Oregon
Department of Transportation.
The eclipse is the fi rst coast-
to-coast total solar eclipse in
the United States since 1918,
and the fi rst to hit any section of
the U.S. mainland since 1979.
In Oregon, about a million
people are expected to cluster
Man cited after boat
crash near Hammond
By JACK HEFFERNAN
The Daily Astorian
A man was cited for three
counts of fourth-degree
assault and reckless endan-
germent after allegedly col-
liding his fi shing boat with
another vessel Saturday
morning on the Columbia
River near Hammond.
Marlin Larsen, 74, was
driving a fi berglass 31-foot
Bayliner Trophy up river
with two other passengers —
Adam Forrester, 20, and Tim-
othy Forrester, 52 — just after
8:30 a.m. It then collided with
an aluminum 20-foot Weld-
craft, soon after that boat’s
operator — Christopher
McMahon, 45 — and two
passengers — Bryan Maess,
47, and Roni Durham, 57 —
jumped into the river to avoid
the impact.
McMahon and the two
passengers had been troll-
ing for salmon. Boaters in
the area pulled them from the
river as the Clatsop County
Sheriff’s Offi ce and U.S.
Coast Guard responded. All
three were treated for minor
injuries at Columbia Memo-
rial Hospital.
Larsen is a Roseburg res-
ident who owns the Harbor-
view Resort in Hammond.
Prior to Saturday’s incident,
he had been cited for speed-
ing in Oregon eight times
since 1983.
The S heriff’s O ffi ce is still
investigating the incident .
in various areas in the central
part of the state to watch the
event. The moon fi rst starts to
cross the sun in Oregon shortly
after 9 a.m. PDT, and totality
— when the moon completely
eclipses the sun — begins near
Lincoln City, Oregon, at 10:15
a.m. PDT and lasts just under
two minutes.
Offi cials say while many
eclipse enthusiasts who trav-
eled to the region will stay after
it ends, many will immediately
take to the roads, potentially
overwhelming the system.
They also say those who live
in Washington state or in other
parts of Oregon who think they
can drive to central Oregon the
day of the eclipse are likely to
fi nd themselves stuck in traf-
fi c so bad they risk missing the
eclipse, and also running out of
gas and other essentials.
Here’s what offi cials say
drivers should expect — and
things they should plan:
ECLIPSE
GATHER-
INGS: Oregon offi cials say
that more than 150 events are
planned throughout the state,
including at the state Capi-
tol in Salem, wineries, and
national forests. Offi cials sug-
gest getting to where you need
to get a few days in advance,
and plan to extend your trip.
Many hotels and campgrounds
have been long booked, and
camping in highway rest areas
is not allowed.
WHAT TO BRING: Make
sure you have extra supplies of
everything you might need for
several hours in the car: water,
food, medications and an emer-
gency kit, as well as a full tank
of gas. Offi cials also suggest
bringing a paper map since cell
service may be spotty and GPS
unreliable. Also make sure to
have proper eclipse watching
glasses.
EXPECTED
CHOKE
POINTS ON THE ROAD:
Interstate 5 and Interstate 205
bridges that connect Vancou-
ver, Washington, and Portland,
Oregon; Interstate 82 in Ben-
ton County; US 97 in Klickitat
County; State Road 14 along
the Columbia River Gorge;
US 197 in Dallesport; State
Road 433, the Lewis and Clark
Bridge between Longview,
Washington, and Rainier; State
Road 4, Longview to Naselle;
SR 401, Naselle to Dismal
Nitch; and US 101, Ilwaco,
Washington, to Astoria. Offi -
cials warn that even areas not
listed can see signifi cant traffi c
increases.
DRIVE SAFELY: If
you’re driving, keep your eyes
on the road. Also, don’t drive
with your eclipse glasses on,
they’re too dark. The emer-
gency shoulder is for emergen-
cies only: No pulling over to
watch the eclipse.
